The New York Giants are keeping their long-standing radio partnership intact, announcing an extension with WFAN that will keep the Audacy-owned sports station as the exclusive radio home for all Giants games.
WFAN will continue to broadcast all preseason, regular season and postseason Giants contests. The agreement also calls for enhanced year-round content and gameday programming to further deepen the team’s footprint across the station and the Audacy app.
“WFAN and The New York Giants are two of the most successful sports brands in the tri-state area, and we’re honored to continue this long-standing partnership for the fans of Big Blue,” said Chris Oliviero, Chief Business Officer and New York Market President, Audacy. “More programming, exclusive experiences and of course Tiki, will make the seasons ahead all the more special.”
To launch the new season, WFAN will host a full day of coverage from Giants Training Camp on July 31 at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center. The station’s morning drive duo Boomer & Gio will kick things off at 6 a.m. ET, followed by Evan & Tiki in the afternoon at 2 p.m. ET. Both shows will feature interviews with players, coaches and team executives.
Former Giants running back and current WFAN host Tiki Barber will expand his role on gamedays, joining Giants.com’s John Schmeelk as the new co-host of the pregame and postgame shows. Barber, named one of the “Top 100 Giants” of all-time, has been with WFAN since 2022 and will complement the broadcast team of Bob Papa, Carl Banks and Howard Cross, who return for in-game duties.
“I am really excited to be joining the Giants gameday radio broadcast team on WFAN. This organization has meant so much to me, professionally and personally,” Barber said. “The Giants have a long history of legendary broadcasters and Wellington Mara always told them to call it like they see it because our fans know better. I look forward to providing analysis and insight that Giants fans appreciate.”
The station will also continue airing Big Blue Kickoff Live presented by Cadillac on Saturday mornings during the regular season from 7–8 a.m. ET. Hosted by Schmeelk and New York media personality Marc Malusis, the call-in show will feature interviews, analysis and fan interaction. Additional episodes will be available on Giants.com and the team’s YouTube channel.
“Our mission is to provide our fans with the best Giants coverage across all content mediums,” said Nilay Shah, SVP of Marketing & Brand Strategy for the Giants. “Adding Tiki’s voice to our already talented roster enhances what we can deliver on gameday and beyond.”
